Oh no, sad to see this out of the fog too! I really like this design, simple yet obvious some thought did go into it (the different growth in different color light). Ok, I'm also a sucker for rainbows.

Thanks for the support. I still feel like Im trying to learn what the woot community likes while not sacrificer a scene of it being my work. I like things to tell a story. I wish I could get more critique even bad ones. It would help my improve my work either way.

Yea I like the look of this one. I would actually wear it. Sometimes I think people forget weir-ability when vote for shirts.

I think the thing that made the immediate connection was the floating stroke, the outline around the entire piece. The fact that its a stylized, swirly tree with a transition of colors, does have some influence, but adding the floating outline is what made it seem too close for comfort for me.... if that makes sense.

I get what you mean. I havent been around long enough to see the "ramyb effect". I was just glad to see a departure form the turtles.

Yeah, sorry. Looks like it didn't hold. We've had problems in the past with spammers and now require a purchase before allowing images in the signature. Good thing is that it can be from any site (except deals).

I honestly don't see why people hate on ramy all the time. Yeah, the guy seems to like designs w/ turtles and other "cutsy" depictions, but the fact that his shirts repeatedly make it to the fog and often print says something about the people who buy shirt woots.

And even if you don't necessarily think his designs are incredibly creative or as imaginative as some other designs, the guy makes an attractive t-shirt. I can't tell you how many times I've been really disappointed by some of the shirts that have won. NOT because they are poor designs or ugly, but because they don't look good on a t-shirt. Things like designs of phoenixes and stuff like that makes crappy shirts. Even if they are very well illustrated, they look about as attractive printed on a shirt as Wolf shirts do (though the people who flame and troll him all the time probably really like wolf shirts).

I've purchased several woot shirts because I thought the design was beautiful or cool or whatever, but have been severely disappointed because they look crappy on a shirt. A poster or desktop background might be cool, but not to wear around.

I don't understand why people feel the need to always put down ramy's work and try to nit-pick every design and insist it gets rejected. So you don't like it. Apparently lots of other people do and would be willing to buy it, and that's all shirt.woot really cares about to be honest. Ramy has found his niche and he makes designs accordingly. You can't get mad at him for sticking to his style, because EVERY woot shirt designer has a style that you can spot almost immediately.

I think everyone needs to stop taking a Jatravartid t-shirt design so seriously and just chillax and stop flaming every design ramy makes. He wouldn't make them if people didn't like and buy his shirts.

hmmm I see. It suppose to be sparks that are illuminated. I can see how it might be hard to tell... Sometimes when you get the joke you forget to look at it with fresh eyes. Thanks for the thought. Ill make sure to get a couple of guys in to look at my work next time to make sure the joke is clear.

Your turtle weighs 6 balloons, but my heart weighs a lot more while this sits out of the fog. A wonderfully bizarre image to grace a t-shirt Spiritgreen and your translucent red balloons deserve a prize of their own. +1
